How do the santa ana winds affect the weather

2 answers:

8 0

The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The Santa Ana Winds originate from cool and dry air pressure mass in Great Britain and are therefore dry winds that affect South California and parts of North California.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Santa Ana Winds bring hot and dry weather during autumn. These winds also create relative low humidity in Southern California.

When these low humidity conditions combine with warm air and high wind speeds are known to create critical fire weather conditions.

These winds are also called devil winds because they often give rise to regional wildfires.

34. Study the topographical maps below:

S_A_V [24]

Based on the contour intervals given, the feature that is most likely seen in these topographical maps is A. Streams.

<h3>What feature is on the topographical map?</h3>

Streams generally flow in over gentle elevations which means that the contour intervals are generally spread out and are 50 m or less.

The contour interval here is 50m which means that the most likely feature would be a stream.

Explain how scale is used on a map and why it is an important tool

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.

This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (August 2008)

The three-sector model in economics divides economies into three sectors of activity: extraction of raw materials (primary), manufacturing (secondary), and service industries which exist to facilitate the transport, distribution and sale of goods produced in the secondary sector (tertiary).[1] The model was developed by Allan Fisher,[2][3][4] Colin Clark,[5] and Jean Fourastié[6] in the first half of the 20th century, and is a representation of an industrial economy. It has been criticised as inappropriate as a representation of the economy in the 21st century.[7]

Service output in 2005

According to the three-sector model, the main focus of an economy's activity shifts from the primary, through the secondary and finally to the tertiary sector. Countries with a low per capita income are in an early state of development; the main part of their national income is achieved through production in the primary sector. Countries in a more advanced state of development, with a medium national income, generate their income mostly in the secondary sector. In highly developed countries with a high income, the tertiary sector dominates the total output of the economy.

The rise of the post-industrial economy in which an increasing proportion of economic activity is not directly related to physical goods has led some economists to expand the model by adding a fourth quaternary or fifth quinary sectors, while others have ceased to use the model.
